Reinforcement Characteristics of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

The construction process of carbon fiber reinforcement is more convenient. Carbon fiber materials occupy a small area and are lighter in weight, so they do not need to consume too much manpower in the process of handling. At the same time, the carbon fiber material does not need to be pre-moulded, so its operating equipment is less, and the construction personnel can work in a group of three.

There are four main characteristics of CFRP reinforcement:


1. The tensile strength of CFRP reinforcement technology is higher.


The wrapped steel reinforcement method is a traditional method to reinforce concrete. Its technical logic is to use the strength of steel to enhance the tensile strength of concrete.


CFRP is a reinforced material made of composite materials, its tensile strength can reach 7.0 GPa, which is 12 times that of ordinary steel.


2. The corrosion resistance of CFRP reinforcement technology is stronger. In the humid and acidic environment, steel and other reinforcement materials are very vulnerable to corrosion, so their scope of use has been greatly limited. Carbon fiber reinforcement technology does not use metal materials, so it has strong corrosion resistance, and can be used in the environment full of chemical gases for a long time.

3. Carbon fiber reinforcement technology can achieve seamless reinforcement. The bending degree of steel and metal reinforcement materials is poor, and cracks are easy to appear in corners, bulges and other parts. Carbon fiber sheet is a flexible material, so it can cope with complex building structure, so that the force of the building is more uniform.
